Ceri...I was just talking with a "slack-key" player who prefers a wound third string, especially on a slide guitar.

Im curious about your supposition. Why would a wound string benefit from staggared poles?


Jay the due to the differing tensile strengths of wound and unwound strings the wound G has a substantially lower output than an unwound G. back in the 50's there were no 'light' gauges with unwound G's. As a result the B string was dramtically louder than the G. So they staggered the pole pieces so the G could be balanced out. Now when you use an unwound G on a pickup that is staggered to accomidate a wound G string the G is markedly louder.
